Put your mind at ease with ethereal, peaceful journeys..

The Celestial Playlist

New version on Spotify and streaming: https://gyro.to/ThoughtsonaStillNight

I will try to update this one but there is a malfunction with the replace file.. or I might post the new one.

Jing Ye Si (Thoughts on a Still Night) takes its inspiration on a poem by Li Bai (701-762), acclaimed Tang poet, which can be found here:

I used the updated Bohemian violin for the first time. Also used Bohemian cello and the Hammersmith piano. Artwork/Photography by Yang Yongliang.

Tianji (Skyview) portrays a journey of peace and tranquility. Its melodies are based on 'Forlorn'.

Tianji (Skyview)

To create a dance-like mood, I use spicatto lines in the solo cellos and a punctuated bass line underneath various legato melodies in Tiantang Zhi Wu (Dancing in the Heavens).

Recently I was diagnosed with two brain tumors.  I will have surgery in the near future.  With surgery I am told I have a 50% chance to lose hearing in my left ear. One tumor is growing in size on the hearing/balance nerve and in the inner auditory canal. This song is part of my new album that I will release before surgery. Proceeds will fund my medical treatment. Available on BandCamp and major platforms.

New piano and orchestra work for #PianoDay2020…Different from my norm, this work is fantastical, whimsical, and uses granular synthesis as well as tuned percussion, harp, and guitar. String flautando and harmonics create the sotte voce effect. Dedicated to my friend Lisa who has terminal cancer. Just learned Lisa passed away on 4/1. May she be in eternal peace...

Full moons, romantic songs.. Collab with Adam 4le..

I hope you like this new release.. Adam4le sent me an older track of his (https://soundcloud.com/adam4le/far-away-original-instrumental) and I re-imagined it with strings. I mixed and mastered it in two reverb halls: medium (String Chamber) and large (Dream Hall) in Logic Pro. I used volume automation to bring out the different string melodies.    https://sharonchen.bandcamp.com/track/beyond-the-clouds

I composed flautando orchestral strings and emotional solo strings around Adam4le's (soundcloud.com/adam4le) track found here: soundcloud.com/adam4le/darkness-original-instrumental. Adding guzheng with glockenspiel and celeste, gave this soundtrack an Asian flavor. The solo strings mimic the Chinese erhu. Mixed in both a large room and hall, Chamber One and Sound Stage 12 in Logic Pro.  Spitfire Audio BBC orchestra, Soniccouture Guzheng.   Mastered by me as well.   https://sharonchen.bandcamp.com/track/eternity-tonite-2

Good night, sweet dreams 
Someone’s thinking of you...
Holding your hand, kissing your lips
Sending heart’s prayer so true...

As you opened your eyes
when first Light shined through...
You dreamt I was there
lying right next to you...

Though the distance is far 
And the night soon draws near...
We share this dream always 
When boundless starry skies appear...

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
